Day 7: Hometown 🏡

I was born and raised in Mati City, Davao Oriental. Even if I have move here in Davao for better opportunities, my heart will still rest in Mati. Abbey Sy is so awesome that she has inspired people from as far as in Mati City.

Day 6:  Nickname

My nickname is Moochi (pronounced as moo-/k/i) which sounds irrelevant from my real name “Odette”. They told me it was derived from a Japanese chant and as a little child, my eyes and skin were quite the same as to a real Japanese little girl. Now you know a bit about me. That’s it for Day 6 challenge.
